  "Ages are academic ages, as at the 31st of August. Quarters are calendar quarters: Q4 is October to December.",
  "Estimates from a sample survey: the DfE publishes a 95% confidence interval for each and advises caution over short-term changes.",
  "The Labour Force Survey was reweighted from January 2019, which revised the estimates from then on and breaks the series there: compare levels either side of 2019 with caution.",
  "Rates are seasonal, lowest in October to December and highest in July to September, so compare a quarter with the same quarter a year before."
